Amarcord and life lessons: Nadia Comăneci enchants the Trento Sports Festival

Amarcord and life lessons: Nadia Comăneci enchants the Trento Sports Festival. Welcomed by the Lord of the Rings, Juri Chechi, an exceptional interviewer, the legend of artistic gymnastics retraced her career and the most iconic anecdotes that made her immortal. Starting from the famous first "10" in history in Montreal '76: "I heard a huge roar, then I looked at the scoreboard and said to my team: 'What's wrong with my routine?'". In reality it was just a technical limit of the board. A perfect score obtained seven times, thanks to 'Nadia's touch', he explains: "It's a different touch from the exercise on books".

From the discovery of the coach Béla Károlyi who, seeing her doing cartwheels outside school, said to her "You come with me to the gym now", to the warning for young talents: "I have fallen so many times, don't think that in those 80 seconds everything can always be perfect. There are not just 10, but those 10 are the result of many falls and years of commitment. I have two jumps that bear my name, but they come from mistakes that I then reconstructed. Learn the ABC, don't go from A to C".

There was no shortage of passages dedicated to the complex moments of her life, from the use of her image by the regime to her dramatic escape from Romania: "I always followed my intuitions, I knew it would be difficult, but when I made the decision I knew I wouldn't go back". The most intimate behind the scenes will be told in the documentary "Nadia", to be released next year.
